I read somewhere on this blog how an author could get in touch with a beta reader but I just can't find that post again. Could you explain it to me again or link the post? Thanks!

Yes, no problem!

The TMRSS beta process:

Please email us at mazerunnersecretsanta@outlook.com and:

Let us know which ship(s) are included in your fic, if there are any warnings or any NSFW content, and which kind(s) of beta you would like: canon (fact checker); language 1 (spelling, grammar, punctuation etc.); language 2 (British vs American English etc.); plot and characterisation

Send us your fic as a text file/a link to a google doc

We will then match you with a beta reader and upload your fic text into a google doc on the TMRSS drive. We will send both you and your beta a link to this TMRSS google doc, and you can then both edit and comment on it, whilst still staying anonymous. 

We ask that you always access this document anonymously, without being signed into your google account, so that the beta doesn't know who the author (you!) is. 

Let us know if you have any questions!

So excited to be participating in TMRSS for the first time! Quick question about fics- are WIPs excepted, or finished fics only?

Thanks for getting in touch, and we're delighted that you're excited for your first TMRSS!

We prefer santas to submit completed fics, so their giftee can enjoy their whole gift, and to lessen the chance of a gift being left unfinished.

IT’S TIME FOR TMR SECRET SANTA 2024!!

Welcome, one and all, to TMR Secret Santa 2024!

Last year, our sixth!!! tmrss, was festive and fantastic, and we're looking forward to another year of yet more creative, new tmr content!🥳

You may be familiar with Secret Santas and how they work but, just in case, here is what will be happening:

Sign up for the Secret Santa by filling out our sign-up form. The information you give us in your sign-up form will be the deciding factor in the gift you’re going to create and the gift you’re going to receive, so please make sure you read and fill it in carefully! Please note this event is 16+. (You can specify three wishes, favourite characters and ships etc. - or any that you don’t want to be featured in your gift, or that you don’t want to include in the gift you make.)

You will then be matched with a giftee, for whom you will create your gift, according to their own Secret Santa wishes :))

Once you have finished making your gift, you will submit it to us via email or, if necessary, via a file sharing platform. More detailed information about submissions will be provided later :) It is very important that you submit your gifts by the 8th December. Christmas is a busy time for us all, and the tmrss elves need enough time to set everything up for the Grand Gift Reveal 🎁🥳

We will post all the gifts on this blog during the week running between Christmas Day (25th Dec) and New Year’s Eve (31st Dec), for your recipient (and for the fandom) to enjoy. Have fun perusing all the beautiful new content and, if you like, making your guesses, but please maintain secrecy, that’s part of the fun!🕵️

The big Secret Santa reveal will take place on 13th Jan, when we will post a list of all the Santas involved and tell you who created which gift.

After that, you’re free to post the gift you created anywhere else (your own tumblr etc.).

—————————————————————————

Now, we all love a good deadline, so here is the timeline for the Secret Santa:

5th September - Signups are now open!

19th September - Signups close

1st October - Secret Santa assignments sent out

8th December - Gifts due in

25th December - Gifts start being posted on our blog

13th January - the Big Secret Santa Reveal!

——————————————————————————

We’re so excited for our seventh(!) tmrss! We’d love to see our fandom come together for another year to spread joy during the festive period 🎄 🎁

So please sign up, share, reblog, tell your friends – however you can, and spread the word! Let’s show tmr some love!

If you want to be a part of the exchange, but are unsure whether you’ll be able to commit, then there are options to become either a Pinch Hitter (someone who makes a gift, possibly at short notice, if a santa drops out or is otherwise unable to complete their gift) or a Beta Reader - details about this can be found here.

If you would like to put your name forward as a Beta Reader this year - something that we always greatly appreciate - please indicate this on your sign-up form, or email us at mazerunnersecretsanta@ outlook.com

You can find more details, as well as the rules and guidelines, in the top bar on our main blog page, and make sure to follow us so you can keep up to date with all the latest news and announcements.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions! 🧝‍♀️🎄

Enjoyyyyy!!!!

TMRSS23 Reveals!

🎅🥳 TMRSS23 Reveals are HEREEEEEEEEEE!!!! 🎅🥳 

Good to go? Have you seen the TMRSS23 Wrapped? Do you have your guess lists ready? Chaos gifs to hand?

All will now be revealed…!!

Here are the TMRSS 2023 santas!!

Thank you so much to all our wonderful santas, for all the creative and diverse gifts this year. What a gift to our fandom, truly!  

We hope that you all had fun participating in TMRSS this year. Thank you so much to those of you who have celebrated each other and our community. We have really appreciated seeing your likes, reblogs, yelling, livereads and overall excitement and appreciation for santas' hard work. 

Please do continue to reblog and share the creations! Reblog, rec, tag, comment - show our santas some love!

Santas: 

if you want to post your creations on your own blogs, or anywhere else, go for it!  We’d be really, really grateful if you could tag/mention “tmrss23″ when you do 🥺🙏  Also, go ahead and publicly thank your betas, cheerleaders, or pets if you want to - there’s no longer any need for secrecy! 🙅‍♀️🕵️‍♀️ (We can let you know who your betas were, if yours was arranged through our tmrss system.)

We’d like to personally thank the following people:

@whiterubys for designing our fabulous banner and icon - check out Anne’s blog for more gorgeous gifs and edits! 

Our wonderful pinch hitters: @seaselkie, @persnickett and @purplepingupenguins and kind beta readers: @jo-the-unknowable @itsthemxze​ @astralpenguin and @persnickett 

You’re all absolute tmrss angels and we appreciate your help so SO much!! We could not run tmrss without being able to rely on our wonderful pinch hitters and betas, who are such essential supports to us during the event. Pinch hitters: thank you for being the reason that no one is left without a gift, which is so very important. Thank you, tmrss stars!!!!!!! 😍👏

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ 

Thanks again everyone for participating this year!! Hope you had fun!

TMRSS23 Wrapped!

Tragically, TMRSS23 is drawing to its close (though not quite yet 😉) after another wonderful year of creativity, community, and of course a lot of chaos.

Thank you to you all for your enthusiasm and for celebrating all the fabulous works created for our fandom 🎁

Reveals Chaos is coming soon 😈

In the meantime, enjoy this little insight into TMRSS23 and all the creative new tmr content it has gifted our fandom. 

See you soon… 😈🎅

Title: The Old Guard

Notes: Newtmas, Minally and Sonyarriet as immortals, old guard style

Summary: Janson has been tasked with tracing a group of immortals through time, to find and apprehend them. But they're good at staying hidden, which makes him think they've been doing it long, long before they started getting caught on camera. He's only been able to find fragments, glimpses of them here and there across history. He's putting together a story - headed up by Newt and Thomas, partners that have never been recorded far apart, though generally under the radar and at times under married aliases - the group is rounded out by Minho and Gally who tend to crop up in disaster zones including notable wars, and Sonya and Harriet, who have been connected to social justice and activism endeavours since the 50s. Janson won't give up, too much rides on it, but the group are still lost in the wind.

Message to giftee: Happy Christmas Dreams! Thanks for all your hard work <3

[mazerunnersecretsanta]

Merry Christmas @harveylovesmike

Summary: the gladers spend the festive period exploring New Zealand

Message to giftee: Happy Christmas! Just a little something to thank you for all your hard work with tmrss.

[mazerunnersecretsanta]

Merry Christmas @fandoms-princess

Summary: My prompts were college AU & royals AU.. Soo I figured gods = royals, and here we have a parody Ever After High University universe, where the students are the children of classical gods instead of the children of fairytale characters. And also the students are the maze runners. of course 😂

Message to giftee: dear Jojo - MERRY CHRISTMAS AAA IT'S DONE. istg this project cost me blood sweat & tears. and so much love. which i hope you can see in the final product 😓😅 drawing isn't my forté but this image of Sonya and Harriet came into my mind and was so iconic, they deserve to rule the underworld (and to wear flower crowns).

Notes: for this universe was Minho as the son of Poseidon (in a very ahem, flattering, ocean wave tunic) & Thomas as the son of Icarus, pursuing Newt the son of Helios (all gold & with a halo and everything). Perhaps someday it will come to fruition as well...

[mazerunnersecretsanta]

Merry Christmas @comebacknow

Title: Where We're Going

Rating: Teen and Up

Wordcount: 10222

Summary: Months have passed since the Last City burned, and Newt and Thomas are starting to settle into life in the Safe Haven. 

As the two of them grow closer, Thomas begins to wonder if maybe there is more to their friendship. After all they’d survived, didn’t they deserve to be happy?

Message to giftee: Merry Christmas Bia!! <3

[mazerunnersecretsanta]

Merry Christmas @moonysloverboy

Title: Cowboy Like Me 

Summary: Open to interpretation! He was a bull rider, he was a rancher, could it be any more obvious? How'd they meet? Who knows. Who's who? Up to you.

Message to giftee: Hey, I gave all your wishes a good thought and decided this one might be fun to see as an edit. I hope you like it and have a nice holdiay :>

Notes: For a cowboy au request there's a surprising lack of cows.

[mazerunnersecretsanta]

Merry Christmas @adoresbenho

Title: You've Got Mail

Rating: General Audiences

Wordcount: 7,568

Summary: Thomas and Minho attend sister boarding schools that require their students to exchange letters with each other. The trick? Their pen pals are selected for them, and they're not allowed to switch or even stop writing until they graduate. It's going to be a long few years.

[mazerunnersecretsanta]

Merry Christmas @blue-summers

Title: the most wonderful time

Rating: Teen and Up Audiences

Warnings: religious themes, internalized homophobia

Wordcount: 6,439

Summary: All her life, Teresa has walked these streets with her family on the dawn of Christmas day. In a way, it marks the passage of time more notably than the New Year's: same old suburbs, same old traditions — and yet so much has changed.

Message to giftee: Merry Christmas, Saph! All of your wishes were delightful, but the 1st one won me over in the end. I hope you love what I've done with it 💝
